Varieties differ in many ways. Some like more wet, some eat certain nutrients at a high rate. I have no idea of the grow characteristics of pepperoncini, but yes, it's possible that it reacts badly to wet and really wants available N. In a different environment, I think you'll be okay. (Don't expect the existing leaves to improve. Pay attention the new growth.)
